'CEO of EZ Primary Research' is a good bit

To go out publicly and say what he is saying, @edzitron has balls the size of the Las Vegas sphere

@AaronBergman18 @freed_dfilan I use the sunscreen app, it's nice. My only feedback is that the text is sometimes not readable in the widget:

@__vining Though at the end of the day I think I'd be pretty content just playing frisbee in the park and memorizing poems or whatever

@CalCuzAtWurster It's good to parse words, if you're going to use them

@TheStalwart I got this from 4.8....of course Pedro Pascal never claimed to be a "Very lucky bisexual" (??). Feels like a 2023 LLM error

The closest thing I can find is Renee Pagel, a Michigan mom who donated a kidney to the parent of a student, who was then murdered by her husband. That seems a lot more probable.

[Aidan @limosalapponica]

In Larissa MacFarquhar's 2009 New Yorker piece 'The Kindest Cut,' there's this shocking and improbable tidbit - a woman donates a kidney to a total stranger, only to turn around and try to murder her husband.

While this would be fascinating, it seems to have never happened.

New Zealand’s overgrown bureaucracy will be hard to cut

@karma_gardener @LinkofSunshine To me it has a very distinct and unpleasant flavor

@AndyMasley A critical question which public health communicators should have an answer to: how bad is smoking ~1 cigarette a month?

@jessespafford The American Renaissance plug is crazy, I guess I thought she was a little bit more undercover ?

@S_OhEigeartaigh @nickcammarata I think it is mockery, which seems apt, considering that Altman is a very powerful person trying to exercise power over others.

[Aidan @limosalapponica]

"someone trying to find a way to make things better in a crisis" is a funny way to describe a cynical actor trying to hold on to power so that he can exercise it toward evil ends.

[Seán Ó hÉigeartaigh @S_OhEigeartaigh]

I feel a bit sad seeing the Altman/Murati DMs everywhere. A vulnerable, scared moment for someone trying to find a way to make things better in a crisis. Never meant for the public and now the joke of the day.
We all know how it turned out, and yes the guy's rich & it's of public interest etc. But I do think we treat human dignity too cheaply for famous people, and that makes it easy for us to treat it more cheaply for everyone else too.

@MattBruenig @coeff_giving Coefficient giving should give least $5 million to PPP

@Mistah_Gif @IsaacKing314 Who suggested that 'folx' should be compulsory?

[Aidan @limosalapponica]

@BiIIyD @IsaacKing314 This is in fact the original goalpost

[Aidan @limosalapponica]

@BiIIyD @IsaacKing314 Ok, can you find anyone suggesting, non-ironically, that folks should be phased out in favor of folx?

[Aidan @limosalapponica]

@BiIIyD @IsaacKing314 Can you find me an example of non-insane person suggesting that folx be used in place of folks, in general, for social justice reasons?

[Aidan @limosalapponica]

@IsaacKing314 Though, if anyone was suggesting that widespread adoption of 'folx' instead of 'folks', I agree that seems silly. FWIW I never witnessed that despite years of immersion in Peak Woke

[Aidan @limosalapponica]

@IsaacKing314 It actually seems like a literal costly signal, since there's a prohibitive cost for fakers (knowing the term and when to use it)
